Thanks for your response - I think I've drawn the short straw here on this - got asked to install this
The only output I get from the make is what I posted originally -
It now looks like I need to install 'git' to get any diagnostics as I do not have that on my hp-ux system.

I will try another user other than root - appreciate the suggestion - although there is nothing in the installation notes referring to this
